In a recently released documentary, titled "TMZ Presents: Liam Payne: Who's to Blame?", a witness described the moment when the singer plummeted to his death as a memory that will forever haunt him.
The documentary, which dives into the circumstances surrounding the incident, has sparked controversy among fans who find it intrusive and untimely.
During a recent stay at the hotel, a witness named Bret Watson was deeply affected by the tragic sight of Payne falling to his death, reflecting on the emotional impact it had on him.
"We happened to be looking out of the window of our hotel at the pool area to show her [the planner] the view from the hotel," Watson said.
"We saw Liam fall... and so we immediately rushed out on the balcony to see what it was and when we looked down we could see that it was Liam laying on the ground."

The British pop star was thought to have passed away instantly.
According to an investigation conducted by the National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor's Office, the One Direction star's system tested positive for a combination of alcohol, cocaine, and prescription antidepressants.
Authorities dismissed the possibility of suicide, clarifying that "in the state he was in, he did not know what he was doing and could not understand it."
His chilling story is featured in conjunction with an analysis of official police records, all while authorities continue to investigate the tragic incident. Additionally, the documentary captures interviews with the three individuals taken into custody as part of the inquiry.
Following the recent airing of the program in the US, there has been a wave of online backlash from individuals expressing their fury just a mere two months following Payne's death.

i feel we have just as much info here that they’ve said so far, there’s some interviews of people that were there on the security footage carrying him, the employee who supplied him w drugs and witnesses who saw him fall, the way they’re talking about him is what’s frustrating

We ask that fans do NOT watch the TMZ "documentary" that will be airing in the US. Do not give them ratings. It's nothing new and just a way for TMZ to profit off of Liam's death even more.
